• Transcripts for studies at other institutions must be official.  Ensure that a transcript legend is included.
• If your transcript includes transfer credit or exchange credit from another institution, the letter grade or score must be included (rather than a complete/incomplete or pass/fail designation).  If a letter grade or score isn't included, you will need an official transcript from the institution where you completed the transfer credit or exchange credit.
• Applications with transcripts that do not meet the requirements may be deemed ineligible.

Scan all of your transcripts and legends together and upload to your application as a single pdf document.
